It feels a bit weird to see lemm.ee users posting as if their accounts aren’t going to be dead in less than a month.
Wait can I post?
Press F to pay respects

I have already moved to another instance and I was pretty new on Lemmy as a whole. I think I created my account about a month ago.

Wait wait wait , what happened
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Lemme.ee got so toxic that the admins bailed. Nobody in the community supported the leads or stepped up to replace them. Whomever was fronting the money to keep the instance hosted got fed up and decided to shut it down.
Now there’s a big ceremonial cry-in for an instance that ate itself with dysfunction, because… idfk.
simple@lemm.ee 1 day ago
That’s not what happened. It wasn’t any more or less toxic than any other place on the internet, the lead admin just got burnt out. He asked the community for volunteers to moderate the instance and apparently didn’t get any good applications.
So he’s shutting down the instance next month. It wasn’t dysfunctional or toxic, he just sacrificed a lot and AFAIK never even broke even with server costs.

Talk about over exaggeration lol. Lemm.ee was fine and well run, I enjoyed it more than being on .world. They just didn’t have enough people willing to be admins.

Tbh I thought it was low-hanging fruit and I wondered why no one was picking it. Wasn’t really paying attention to the admin drama.
rockerface@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Oh, so you just like making shit up. I guess it’s to distract yourself from the feeling of your own incompetence?
scytale@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
For .ee users still deciding on an instance to jump to, I chose .zip because it’s managed similarly:
- Similar defederation policy
- Runs the latest version of lemmy
- Defederated from Threads
Others moved to piefed.social.

spicehoarder@lemm.ee 1 day ago
So what’s the difference between that and .world? Maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but I don’t see any “about us” pages for these Lemmy servers
scytale@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Scroll down to the bottom of both instances’ home pages using the default lemmy UI. You’ll see the version of lemmy they use. You’ll also see a link labeled as Legal, which contains most of the instance’s policies. The Instances link will show you what instances they are federated and defederated with. The modlog can also give you some insight on what’s happening on the instance. Combine that with all the other information on their sidebars and you’ll get a rough idea of how different they are managed.
It also helps if you’ve been on lemmy for a while because you would’ve directly experienced or witnessed any issues or controversies those instances have been involved with.

Sticking around to the last day. Love you mods. Still haven’t picked an instance. Not sure if there’s another instance run like lemm.ee
Thinking dbzero or lemmy.zip for now
LePoisson@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Idk I’m on lemmy.world and it seems fine? I think it’s just the default for most people since it was one of the earliest if not the first instance, would have to look it up.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 38 minutes ago
The .world TDL makes it sound universal and it didn’t get a reputation as THE place for Mao cultists or whatever like .ml did. So lemmy.world isn’t the center of the lemmyverse but it is in the middle.

Vespair@lemm.ee 1 day ago
I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.
I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.

originaltnavn@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Now don’t get me wrong, I am not hype about moving from a great instance, but I feel this has been a great demonstration of why the federation is a good idea. All in all, migrating has been a fairly smooth experience, and most communities are either on other places or are moving fairly structured. Previously, closure of services or enshitification has caused me to spend weeks to months hunting for new places to read. This has been a great experience in most ways, and I think I can live happily jumping from instance to instance like this for a few years until I give up and set up my own.

onto the next one.

Can you transfer your account to a different instance yet?
originaltnavn@lemm.ee 1 hour ago
Partially, at least not what I use regularly. The account settings has a system for exporting settings, communities and block lists. You cant really retroactively move comments and posts to have been made by another user, but making a post on both the old and new users claiming eachother should propagate to other instances and be archived correctly.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 day ago
Also, old content won’t be gone. It’ll still be around. Hell, people can still even reply to stuff. Inactive lemm.ee communities won’t have new comments propagate to instances past where the original commenter is from, but still!

My first instance shut down permanently within days of my signing up. I believe it had sometime remotely doing with Russia suddenly deciding to invade Ukraine.
It really gave me that full cyberpunk experience.

My first instance also shut down pretty quickly after I started using it, but not for major conflict reasons. I’ll get the cyberpunk experience some other time I guess… 😔

Does anyone know how I could save off any of my comments or posts? I know that they’ll still be accessible from other instance they federated to, but it’d be hard to search them all out.

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 11 hours ago
You won’t be able to log in, post, comment, etc., with this account. Basically, the website lemm.ee is going to be gone forever. Lemm.ee is how you do stuff in the Fediverse. The rest of the Fediverse will still be up, and the instances you interacted with will have copies of your posts and comments, but your account will otherwise be dead.
So you probably do want to change instances.

Ok, any advice where we should move?
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 1 day ago
I’m on SDF for its no-defederation policy and because SDF outside of Lemmy has a proven track record of public service and longevity. Like SDF is much older than I am. Occasionally there are hiccups and the SDF team is a bit slow to respond, but otherwise it’s been a good time. And the people here seem pretty chill too.
For my needs it’s the best one. But you might want something with a curated feed, a particular political orientation, or something else.

I’ve applied for .zip; is .add a more general purpose instance?
solsangraal@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
the advice i’ve heard is pick one that isn’t too big but not too small either. spend some time looking at the local communities to see if they align with what you want. .zip is focused on gaming and tech which is me. others are politics heavy. some are widely defederated, which may be the only thing that really matters-- you don’t want one that everyone can’t stand
Gork@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
I went with sopuli.xyz. People are friendly and the instance is stable.
Vespair@lemm.ee 1 day ago
I don’t love their decision to defederate hexbear, but otherwise I like this instance.
Not to say I don’t understand their reasoning for defederating, because I do, I just prefer as little defeds as possible aside from corporate influence (fuck threads)

DharmaCurious@startrek.website 1 day ago
If you are into solar punk slrpnk.net has been amazing for me. Due to some weird timing with the admin being out of town when the servers went down they’re down right now for a bit, so I’m not sure when they’ll be back up and running. But the current situation is a hiccup, not a consistent issue. I love the server, and if anything, the community reaction to the admin being unable to fix this for a few weeks has made me love it even more.

RagingHungryPanda@piefed.social 1 day ago
there is one issue that I've found - my work blocks lemmy.zip, so I'm using the piefed account I made to test it.
My guess is that it ends in ".zip" and is getting blocked, b/c the rest of lemmy they aren't bothering with.
